GIVEAWAY ENDED14TH DEADLY SIN

READ BY JANUARY LAVOYBY JAMES PATTERSONAND MAXINE PAETRO

ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:With San Francisco under siege and everyone a suspect, the Women's Murder Club must risk their lives to save the city-and each other. With a beautiful baby daughter and a devoted husband, Detective Lindsay Boxer can safely say that her life has never been better. In fact (for a change), things seem to be going well for all the members of the Women's Murder Club as they gather to celebrate San Francisco Medical Examiner Claire Washburn's birthday. But the party is cut short when Lindsay is called to a gruesome crime scene, where a woman has been murdered in broad daylight. As Lindsay investigates, shocking video footage of another crime surfaces. A video so horrific that it shakes the city to its core. Their faces obscured by masks, the cold blooded criminals on the tape could be anyone-and now all of Lindsay's co-workers are suspects. As a rash of violence sweeps through San Francisco, and public fear and anger grows, Lindsay and her friends must risk their lives in the name of justice-before it's too late. With shocking twists and riveting suspense, 14TH DEADLY SIN, proves yet again that when it comes to suspense fiction, in the words or Jeffrey Deaver: "nobody does it better" than James Patterson.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

James Patterson is the author of the Middle School, I Funny, Treasure Hunters, and Daniel X novels, as well as House of Robots and Public School Superhero. His blockbusters for adults--in addition to his many books for teens, such as the Maximum Ride series--have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide. He lives in Florida.

Maxine Paetro is an American author who has been published since 1979. Paetro has collaborated with best-selling author James Patterson on the Women’s Murder Club novel series and standalone novels.

SOME OTHER BOOKS BY PATTERSON AND PAETRO:

MY THOUGHTS/REVIEW:I really think as much as I enjoy Alex Cross from James Patterson that the Women's Murder Club series might be about to take over that top spot. This group of women, written so well along with Maxine Paetro, keep readers guessing with each of their own plot lines. The narrative is never dull and the pages keep turning. From San Francisco's finest, homicide detective Lindsay Boxer finds herself knee deep in two cases in 14TH DEADLY SIN. Of course, Lindsay is not alone in action as readers will find a shocking turn from DA Yuki Castellano as well as every one's favorite coroner, Claire Washburn. Claire is puzzled when the club realizes that several major murder cases have taken place on Claire's birthday which they just happen to be celebrating in the beginning of the tale. Cindy Thomas is quick to jump into her newspaper reporter role as they realize that two of those cases were never solved. As the action revs up on all fronts, there is the always present chance that some of Lindsay's coworkers may be involved in the current cases going on. I think the way each of the main characters' cases and problems always intertwine is one of the best parts of this series. In the end, things almost always are solved but not totally. 14TH DEADLY SIN is no different and although it does come to a conclusion of sorts, there is that inevitable twist at the end that leaves the door open for readers to guess what will come up next. I enjoyed listening to this Patterson and Paetro addition to the series and found it easy to follow and enjoy.

It does sound like an exciting book, thank you so much for the review, Karen. I am disappointed that the book may not really come to a conclusion. I prefer endings tied up in neat packages except that in non-fiction where there is no choice.

On this main page, James Patterson says that Leo Tolstoy wrote War and it was published in 1805 but he didn't like the ending so he re-wrote with a different ending and it was published again. I am amazed by this. That book took me a whole summer to read. The pages were thin like tissue paper but the book was still thick. Now I wish that James Patterson would write a biography about Leo Tolstoy!!!

There is always so much going on on his website. You can find out about his new books and coming books. He always has a sweepstakes going on.

James has donated a box of books to every school in the Palm Beach County, New York City, Savannah, and Los Angeles Unified School Districts—over 400 schools!He has also donated over 200,000 books to soldiers at home and overseas.

Thanks to all!

Sadly, we will be saying good bye to Bookin' With Bingo early next month. Things just have been too hectic so we have chosen to close down with hopes for a new "BWB" someday. Thanks to all and KEEP READING!
